Joubert syndrome (JS) is an autosomal recessive developmental brain condition characterized by hypoplasia/dysplasia of the cerebellar vermis and by ataxia, hypotonia, oculomotor apraxia, and neonatal breathing dysregulation.
Variants
association of JS with retinal dysplasia and nephronophthisis ("JS type B" or "cerebello-oculo-renal syndrome" (CORS)).
